We just got back on Sunday from a two week trip. Hit up Milan, Venice, Lake Como, Cinque Terre, Florence, and Rome. It was a really good trip and I’ll be posting some photos in the photo thread. I let my wife plan it as it was her dream trip (she is Italian-Brazilian). There are some things I would have done differently. I just can’t handle the massive crowds of tourists. Just overrun everywhere (and we added to the problem). Sometimes it can’t be avoided because there are things you shouldn’t skip, even for me as a non religious person. By the end of the trip I was cussing out tourists in Portuguese because so many people are oblivious about their surroundings and just stop in the middle of sidewalks and roads making it even worse. Had several really good meals but since we had our young daughters with us we it was sometimes hard to find really amazing places that had food they would eat. In the future I would like to go back and see the southern part of the country. I think I would like it more. I think I enjoyed Spain a bit more.

I have a Hero4 silver. Haven’t used it in quite awhile. I used it more for underwater still photos more than video. I thought about upgrading but haven’t pulled the trigger. Probably get another drone before that. Two of my favorite shots with it:

We were out of the country for 2 weeks. Longest we had been away from Fusca. She was missed.

I’ve been out of the country, so have yet to start this season. However, Bill, with all due respect, are you retarded?

Thanks. They have a couple I like…but more diver than skin diver (form factor). It appears that Wolbrook is about to release a new version of their Skindiver and they are hinting at date window.

I’m still looking for that “perfect” retro skin diver watch. In the meantime I might settle with. A Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic. Any of y’all have one? One small thing that is making me apprehensive is the lack of a date window. Their world timer version has one, but I don’t like the WT bezel. I contacted them about buying a separate bezel to swap it out, but Théodore over in France didn’t seem to like my plans. Any thoughts on that watch? I posted some up thread, but these are the kinds I really dig: Also, I came across this Timex automatic dive watch with Portuguese day window. I was really disappointed to see that it had sold already. Anyone have suggestions on finding others like that (in Portuguese)?

I need to do something about this erection. Can’t fucking wait.

Today I learned Western Europe is eastern. Just giving you shit.

Zero people on ignore. Just kind of hoped either: 1. Banned people would have more of a life to move on to, rather than coming back here over and over again. 2. The mods would do a better job of immediately banning them again ince outed because absolutely none of them change their MO.

Lulz deacon dickhead is very understanding in this case. Wonder how it would be if he was a few shades darker.

Sometimes I think I would like to try ayahuasca, then I take some of my wife’s melatonin to help me sleep and the terrifying and vivid nightmares I have have me second guessing that line of thought. Fucking heart of darkness man.

I know your guide (the kid in the hat under the telescope). He used to live in Austin. Know him through photography…kind of a listless guy until he got a job at the observatory. Glad to see he is doing ok. /csb

Being on a 7 hour time difference with y’all during this thread has been entertaining. Thank you, from Italy.

This thread is…something.

Her stick legs feeding into that plastic ass. Nah.

Or the Ark bullshit in Kentucky. But we have people on this site that believe the earth is 6,000 years old. Allegedly educated people.

This makes me feel good as we just arrived in Europe and will be returning on Delta through Atlanta in a couple of weeks.

Religious nut jobs knocking in my door on a Saturday morning. But then they have to take it to a new, and creepier level. I didn’t answer so they left this pamphlet: How in the fuck do they know we speak Portuguese? I mean, we live in Houston. I would assume it’s like the 10th or 15th most spoken language. Maybe? Not a pamphlet with multiple languages, but just Portuguese. Fuck of god freaks.

No. Surly is more the way to find oneself in a Saw movie situation and iconoclast is Jigsaw.

Well, it wasn’t a dating app. It was a social networking website like MySpace or Facebook.

My wife and I met through social media 17 years ago. Met through Google’s failed Orkut (kind of like Facebook). It was wildly popular in Brazil. I used it to network with people before I moved there. She was one of the people I met through it. We now have two kids.

Uh, the irrefutable evidence is his appearance.

Didn’t he finally admit to being juiced to the gills? I mean, not that anyone needed him to admit it.
